I agree.....but your criteria for selecting Smith appears to be that he has a good kicking game as 'back up'.

Would you select Smith over Hall for the same reason ?

Smith isnt exactly in form is he. Hardacker on the wing and Ablett in the centres????

That would allow clarkson in I suppose

Looks like Carmont is injured reading on the pie board

Been looking at the smilies why isn't there a flag waving one for such an occasion?

I wasn't justifying his selection because of the fact he has a kicking game, just stating the fact that he does have one. I think by what i've read and seen so far Smith is in better form than BJB, didn't really do much wrong against HKR, so doesn't warrant being dropped after the first game of the season.

I spent some time on there yesterday.

What is a Brigante? I was reading a thread and it sounds like it's an arts and crafts club where they do needlework and flag making but some other fans were insinuating they're a bit more notorious than that. Apparently they have a Brigante wannabe going around doing graffiti.

It's all very interesting stuff. Life in a Northern Town eh?

Forza Brigantes WTF?

Is this some sort of local dialect......or perhaps its the name of a particularly tasteful Wigan pie....or a new signing to replace the unlamented Tomkins Senior?

I'd go and ask, but unfortunately Wigan Dave has still not found that dummy!

I read that thread also, the most amusing bit was the "ultras" who have taken to wearing scarves around their faces at games.

It also seems the "propa nawty ultra boyz" have been going round Wigan town centre and opposing Grounds with a stencil and spraying "S2" everywhere?

What ever floats your boat.....

Should be mandatory for wigan fans. Especially the women.

They can just dye their taches red and white.
